They rewrote the modern revisionism & denial textbook,

Uh, I don't think so, B.M. Most of the southern heritage supporters here back up their arguments with historical documentation, while many of their opponents (especially yourself) rely on the ad-hominen. While their slander is tolerated by the moderators, they eventually out themselves in other ways and get banned, as the late-and-not-so-great Wlat and Modernman have. Most of you people don't even try to debate - you resort to slander. When people like yourself enter a thread, the level of discourse and the flow of debate enters the toilet.

Secondly, revisionism based on political correctness is the chief (if only) tool in the south bashers arsenal. Until left wing groups like the NAACP needed an issue, pride in southern heritage was part of Americana. It will be again. When your chief allies are mostly left wing malcontents, like Jesse Jackson Jr and his efforts to politicize civil war battlefields ("There is concern, however, about the isolated existence of these Civil War battle sites in that they are often not placed in the proper historical context."), you need to question your judgement. I would have guessed that even the most flatulent south basher would have been against making battlefields politically correct, but as the threads discussing the subject in the past have shown, they were all for it.

Lastly, there is absolutely nothing you can do about southern pride. We were here before you, and we'll be around for a long time - better get used to it.

The "bash the south movement" is nothing but a recent PC innovation by PC people.

No matter how you spin it, the so called "states rights" is just a red herring to divert attention from the fact that the civil war was fought to keep slavery from spreading out west, and to keep the union together.

If states continually left the union, chaos would ensue.

Lincoln was guided from above IMO

Lincoln was the best thing ever to happen to the south.

The defeated 'lost cause' was relegated to the ash heap of history since 1865.

Reviewing the platitudinous propaganda dibbled out daily by deception-DeLorenzo's delirious disciples, although pitiful & boring, it's also rather humourous, since this crowd is so self deluded into actually believing their kind can somehow force our nation's clock back to the ante bellum era of slavery plus post Civil War Jim Crow. They foolishly strive under the false banner of "heritage".

It's really beyond incredible how today's rabid neo-confederate 'lost causers' are so pathetically out of touch with reality, as evidenced in how this insignificant backward element frivolously wastes their time, plus harass others, attempting to resuscitate a dead issue, instead of focusing on the expanding current evils confronting the America of the here and now.

The greatest "bashing" the South ever received was that resulting from its leadership's idiotic attempt to divide the Union and destroy the Constitution. That is the only "bashing" of consequence and the destruction unleashed by those fools seems to have been forgiven by those anxious to attack Lincoln for upholding his oath to defend the Constitution.

It is not Southern Heritage under attack here anymore than German Heritage would be under attack by those critical of the Nazis. Personally I was born and raised in the South and that does not blind me to the enormous damage to the region and its people by the insanity of the Slaver Leaders. Rather it inspires me to bring out the truth wrt their lies especially when they are still polluting our society.

Lastly, there is absolutely nothing you can do about southern pride. We were here before you, and we'll be around for a long time - better get used to it.

What do you mean "we were here before you"?

Sault Ste. Marie Michigan was founded in 1623 (2nd oldest city in the US - after St. Augustine) - we Northerns have been around for almost 400 years!
